Yes your on track to figuring it out. Find a open area, get perpindicular with the wind...then 180 that for comparison.<br />

With a R - L wind, if you throw something stable....(put the mids away for this and get your fastest drivers...overstable, stable and understable) ...throw it high with some hyzer and watch it sail left. L - R get your understable driver and throw it high with some turnover and watch it sail right. The wind will carry a disc in the direction it's blowing it you throw it high enough for it to ride the current.

I love the wind!!!! here in Eugene Oregon we get some crazy windy days. I have hit aces this year partly from understanding the wind. When I see a headwind I smile. I know I can throw a Destroyer on slight hyzer low and straight. The wind pushes down and flies nice and straight with predictable fade. Some old guru told me when I started. Overstable for headwind or uphill shots, and Understable with tail wind or down hill shots! Seems to have worked for me so far, but I am no Touring Pro!!!…
